BALTIMORE -- The manager who has all the answers was suddenly, genuinely stuck for one. Asked who would play first base for the New York Yankees if it turns out Mark Teixeira is out for any significant length of time -- or for Saturday, even -- Joe Girardi could offer only this: "I have no idea. I've got to talk to my general manager."
Teixeira left Friday night's game against the Baltimore Orioles -- a game in which the Yankees blew a 5-2 lead to lose, 6-5 -- in the bottom of the third inning after telling Girardi his right knee had locked up on him.
